1968 Datsun – Nissan 411 Bluebird Description

1968 Datsun (Nissan) 411 Bluebird

MotoeXotica is pleased to announce our latest addition, rarely seen Datsun 411 “Bluebird”. Known for their dependability, implicity, nd durability Nissan’s Bluebird series of sedans have become the most internationally recognized Nissan model. In fact the Bluebird nameplate is one of Japan’s longest-running nameplates and inspired various other historic Japanese car models, uch as the Nissan President and the Sunny. When entering the American domestic market the moniker of Bluebird and most notably their brand name of Nissan were ditched for a more appealing Datsun Series 410/411.

Painted in bright red, his little Datsun is a attention grabber. Overall the paint is in great condition with only very minor imperfections found upon closer inspection. The previous owner stated that a full restoration was completed five years prior; however documentation from the restoration was not included with the purchase of the car. When sitting inside the benefits from the restoration become clear, ll of the interior upholstery was redone in a black and red vinyl combination. This Series 411 Datsun is excellent example of early Japanese cars that entered into the untested American market.

Rare to find in such excellent condition this 1968 Datsun Series 411 “Bluebird” is a fantastic example of early Japanese minimalist design. Realizing that at the same time this Datsun was bought in the United States, merican muscle cars like the Challenger and Corvette were being offered; what a stark comparison of two vastly different automotive cultures produced at the same time.

It should be noted that the windshield has a small crack in the upper left-hand side out of line-of-sight for the driver.
